[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my daughters school I see a lot of very sweet white women get shoved, hit, and yelled at and yanked by their (I assume) kids. It's rough rough behavior where ladies are getting hurt. By like four and five year olds, and up from there. They are often very upset over what seems to be stuff moms do--like telling them to tie a shoe or get a backpack.  I often am so horrified I want to say something, but I have been biting my tongue. Is this a white thing? I live in a middle income neighborhood. I am not trying to get racist here but I don't feel comfortable asking anyone I know who might have insight about these situations.

I couldn't resist.
See how easy that is?[/quote]

You should have resisted.  Parody is not your strong suit.[/quote]

+1. Not sure why anyone would "love this." [/quote]

Don't get too caught up in your feelings friend...ignorant presumptions i.e. stereotypes can go both ways.  The OP is leaning toward subscribing to a sentiment that black mothers are the only ones who beat their kids.  Is it not okay for others to lean toward subscribing to the sentiment that white mother are the only ones who's kids beat them?[/quote]

I understand that. I just think it's a ridiculous analogy if that's the point you're trying to make. Children (who are still being taught that hitting is wrong) shouldn't be compared to adults hitting little kids. That's what makes it a bad analogy/parody/ or whatever else you'd like to call it.[/quote]

Then you're not understanding...I'm not comparing the violence of supposedly sensible adults to the violence of understandably naive children.  I'm comparing one ridiculous generalization to another.  
Peep this...the OP looks through a narrow subjective lens at a few mothers and comes to this outrageous conclusion about black women as a whole.  
Everybody's fine with that though.  That's okay...that's tolerable...its even considered arguable, right...cause you know, they're black and of course any generalization about blacks has to be accurate right?    
But when the stupid shit is done without blacks as the focal point, when someone looks through a narrow subjective lens at a few mothers and comes to an outrageous conclusions about white women as a whole - WHOA!!  Lol, folks ain't trying to hear that shit for one second.

"Just what the hell do you think you're doing pal?  You can't generalize all white mothers as virtual punching bags to their children like that I don't care how many instances you've seen its inaccurate and inarguable!!"
Bullshit.  [/quote]

9:32 here. Yes, I still understand. It doesn't mean that it was an effective analogy or nearly as cute as you seem to think it is, as evidenced by your need to start another thread with this. I'm not commenting on the original sentiment, its generalizations, assumptions, etc. I'm just saying that yours was not a good analogy and I think, in fact, self-sabotages by making a more ludicrous comparison.
